Such cute shopping...and a plethora of gorgeous blooms..sure wish I could grow ranunculus here..I can't even find bouquets:-) One of my first years gardening I ordered ranunculus bulbs from California..never knew about zones..Boohoo they never showed..same with wisteria..I pictured it cascading everywhere.Love everything..are you surprised?:-) Love my Nexus..hate it's photo taking skills...I have watercolor paper all ready..think I'll just send myself some pics:-)

Sweet dreams are made of stuff from this fantastic shop!Love the peony T!Lucky you,Carol, to have the opportunity to wear them!PS Peonies look like tight little puffs and then open up to a huge,sweet scented ball!They are glorious!

You have many things there..peonies ..poppies.. ranunculus..Much better to just say Peonies:)They all have a bit of a similarity:)♥All od fashioned looking..not like turquoise orchids..(oy)No ..my Nexus.. takes photos..w/ the sceen away from you..and at a different angle..I was all prepped with my perfectly cut out little watercolor papers..and the last 5 garden shots I took..had my finger..s in in them..

I was able to get a few shots a while ago from a balcony..My daughter has Ipads..Ipods..Imac..and takes great pics w/ them..comme toi..

There are fields of ranunculus located between Los Angles and San Diego that are a big tourist attraction - you can google if you are so inclined. We do not have luck with peonies. The weather does not get cold enough, the same with lilacs - we can grow lilacs, but they have no scent, which defeats the purpose.

Glad someone set you straight on your flowers....you could make those shirts yourself! A little fabric paint and your watercolor habits and - as you say - voila! I am totally smitten with Anne's jewelry!!!

Ok, I just have to chime in here, being a florist....The first two photos are of rannunculas, the silks are poppies and sweet peas, the bag shows poppies and the shirt with butterflies has a rannunculas...no peonies except for your post of the peony wall.But they are all gorgeous!
